Vector for Over-Expression of bip1 in T. reesei

[0055]A Gateway-compatible expression vector, pTrex2g / hygB, was designed to enable over-expression of the T. reesei chaperone gene bip1. After insertion into pTrex2g / hygB the open reading frame of the bip1 gene was flanked by the promoter sequences of the T. reesei pki1 gene and the terminator sequences of the T. reesei cbh1 gene. The vector also contained the E. coli hygromycin phosphotransferase (hph) gene flanked by the promoter sequences of the Neurospora crassa cpc-1 gene and the terminator sequences of the Aspergillus nidulans trpC gene.

[0056]The following segments of DNA were assembled in the construction of Trex2g / HygB (see FIG. 1):

[0057]A 728 bp fragment of T. reesei genomic DNA representing the promoter region from the pki1 (pyruvate kinase) gene. At the 5′ end of this DNA were 6 bp of synthetic DNA representing a SpeI restriction site and at the 3′ end were 6 bp of synthetic DNA adding a SacII restriction site.

The Trichoderma reesei Chymosin Production Strain CHY1-2

[0062]A synthetic version of the bovine prochymosin B open reading frame (see FIG. 2, SEQ ID NO: 42) was constructed with codon usage optimized for expression in Trichoderma. A vector, pTrex4-ChyGA was designed for the expression of an open reading frame encoding a fusion protein that consists of the following components from the amino-terminus: the T. reesei CBHI secretion signal sequence, the T. reesei CBHI catalytic core and linker region, and the bovine prochymosin B protein. This open reading frame is flanked by the promoter and terminator sequences of the T. reesei cbh1 gene. The vector also contains the Aspergillus nidulans amdS gene, encoding acetamidase, as a selectable marker for transformation of T. reesei.

[0063]The following segments of DNA were assembled in the construction of pTrex4-ChyGA (see FIG. 3):

[0064]The T. reesei cbh1 promoter and coding region. This DNA sequence begins at a naturally occurring HindIII si...

Cloning the T. reesei bip1 Gene and Insertion into pTrex2g / hygB

[0070]In order to insert the T. reesei bip1 gene into pTrex2g / HygB the DNA sequence was amplified by PCR using attB PCR primers. The forward primer (F-attB1) had the following sequence at the 5′ end, 5′-GGGGACAAGTTTGTACAAAAAAGCAGGCT-3′ (SEQ ID NO:43), followed by a sequence specific to the 5′ end of the bip1 open reading frame. The reverse primer (R-attB2) had the following sequence at the 5′ end, 5′-GGGGACCACTTTGTACAAGAAAGCTGGGT-3′ (SEQ ID NO:44), followed by a sequence specific to the 3′ end of the bip1 open reading frame. The full sequence of the two primers was:

[0071]

(SEQ ID NO: 31)5′-GGGGACAAGTTTGTACAAAAAAAGGCTATGGCTCGTTCACGGAGCTCCC-3′(SEQ ID NO: 32)5′-GGGGACCACTTTGTACAAGAAAGCTGGGTTTACAATTCGTCGTGGAAGTCGCC-3′

[0072]The bip1 gene was amplified using Phusion polymerase from Finnzymes (Cat. No. F-530) according to the manufacturer's directions. The PCR mixture contained 1 μl T. reesei genomic DNA, 10 μl 5× buffer HF, 1 μ...

Abstract

The present teachings provide methods for increasing protein secretion, e.g., chymosin in filamentous fungi by co-expressing certain chaperone(s) and / or foldase(s). The present teachings also provide filamentous fungi containing certain chaperone(s) and / or foldase(s) and a protein of interest for increased secretion.

Description

[0001]This application claims priority of U.S. Provisional applications 60 / 919,332, filed Mar. 21, 2007, the contents of which is herein incorporated by reference in their entirety.SEQUENCE LISTING[0002]The sequence listing submitted via EFS, in compliance with 37 C.F.R. §1.52(e), is incorporated herein by reference. The sequence listing text file submitted via EFS contains the file “30969US_SequenceListing.txt”, created on Jan. 15, 2013, which is 104943 bytes in size.INTRODUCTION[0003]Protein secretion is an important aspect of protein production in various cell expression systems. One of the factors associated with protein secretion is protein folding. Many proteins can be reversibly unfolded and refolded in vitro at dilute concentrations since all of the information required to specify a compact folded protein structure is present in the amino acid sequence of a protein. However, protein folding in vivo occurs in a concentrated milieu of numerous proteins in which intermolecular ...
